Application filed July 15,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALVIN G. SHERMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-BaseConstructions, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to gas and vapor stove construction and has forits object a construction of the base frame and associated parts so thatthe bolt heads and other fastening devices are completely concealed fromsight when the stove is under ordinary observation. Further, a strongand stiff base construction is afforded which aifords a stable and rigidstove.

In the drawings,--

Fig. 1 is a front perspective of the stove.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the base construction.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 2:

Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1.

The various parts that go to make up the stove are plainly evident fromthe plan view of Fig. l and it will not be necessary to detail them. ,Itwill be noted, however, from an observation of this viewthat not asingle fastening device is seen on the stove. These are all concealed bythe various features of construction that are embodied in severalapplications that are co-pending.

This application is limited to the base 40 frame and leg constructionand associated parts of the stove which form a joint therewithcompletely eliminating any exposed bolts and nuts and other fasteningdevices.

The base frame is an angle bar a which has its horizontal web recessedas at b to permit the bar to be bent around the corners at three cornersand at the fourth corner, the angle bracket 0 serves to connect the endsof the angle frame together. This single bar of angle section gives avery strong, rigid base frame.

The legs d are of angle section and taper toward the bottom. Theenlarged portion at the top has a horizontal web 6. The walls of thestove, back, side and front, are all turned 1922. Seriallt'o. 575,818.

The warming chamber bottom 9 and the side and back walls of the stoveare of sheet metal and are easily turned under. The oven front frame Itis a pressed steel frame, although it could be a casting and has asection which is roughly a channel section. The bottom of this barpasses under the web of the angle bar as is plainly shown in Fig. 5 andis securely bolted-thereto by bolts and nuts What I claim is:

1. In stove construction, the combination of a base frame made up of barmembers, a stove wall, having a flange turned under said bar members,and means for connecting said flange to said bar members in concealedrelation.

2. In stove construction, the combination of a base frame comprising barmembers, a stove wall having a flange turned under the bar members, astove leg having a top web,

3. In stove construction, the combination of a base frame comprising abar of angle section, a stove wall having a turned under flange engagingunder the horizontal web of said bar, a stove leg provided with a topweb and concealed fastening devices for fastening the angle bar, theturned in flange and the top web of the leg together with the flangepinched between the angle bar and the leg.
